The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue Contamination

In Hampshire we have noticed a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent due to people not being aware of how to to make use of (note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to each other on the automobile.

Well, what's the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

Since AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. In the case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it asap. And certainly never turn over the car - not even to relocate it to a parking area. If perhaps you did start the car you would probably need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Whenever you get in this position do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination service. Our technicians possess the practical expertise and experience to have you back on the road quickly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

  1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
    • Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
    • A lot of smoke (more than usual)
    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
  2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VAT receipt.
  3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
  4. Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
